Heatwave {#heatwave-1}
========

I packed up all my 3d printing supplies earlier this month because it
got hot for a few days. Then life happened. End of fiscal year at work
always takes up a ton of extra effort. Then we had some colder days. And
some extremely rainy days. One evening around 1800, the other one and I
sat out under the back porch for 20 minutes while a downpour came down
and flooded the yard. Probably the most rain I had seen in a year.
Hopefully not the last rain I see before the equinox.

All that, and now Cascadia has reached some temperature highs that make
our nightly lows on par with historic daily average highs.

emacs rename-file
=================

Folks ask me all the time how to rename a file, especially an open file.
Even though emacs has rename-file, the best way IMO is to open up the
dir in dired, type R on the line of the desired file, and then type the
new name/path into the minibuffer. It replaces the ambiguity of
replacing the current file with rename-file which requires selecting it
explicity first, even when starting from that file. But either way work.
